Lyrics

Tell me do they look like me All my (F) friends said, don't you worry Said they'll testify for (C) me Well, I (G) wonder which of (F) my friends had it in for (C) me Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me I don't (F) want six extra children When ain't but two that look like (C) me Please, have (G) mercy, judge your (F)honor Alimony is killing (C) me Please, have mercy, judge your honor I'm as poor as I can be Ain't had money in my pockets Since way back in fifty three Can't you cut down all my payment? Alimony is killing me Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
